The £25 (Quarter) Britannia is a quarter troy ounce coin. The Britannia coins consist of four different weights that are offered in both proof bullion form. These coins were first introduced in 1987. In the beginning, for the first 13 years, the Britannia image was made to appear as though she was in a sitting position. With the 2000 minting year, this image was changed to the current image of Britannia portrayed in a standing position.

The quarter ounce Britannia has a diameter of 22 millimeters. It weighs 8.5 grams total. A little over 7 grams of that weight is the gold. The remainder is the alloy that is combined with the gold. Starting with the 1990 minting, silver was the alloy that was used. Before that, the alloy was copper.

£25 (Quarter) Britannia coins can be largely found in sets that date from 1999.
